Heh, She Said "Pants"

I hardly ever wear pants. They are just not my thing, although I live in jeans at home. I also didn't buy very many pairs during the 2009 Wardrobe Challenge, so they have been scarce this year. However, I did buy this pair (new) a couple of weeks ago, on sale at Esprit for $35 (regular $99):Hard to tell, but they are navy blue with a big pale blue/grey check. I love the really wide leg on these. Esprit's pants fit me perfectly. Love them - most of my jeans are Esprit, in fact.

The cardi/shrug is new-to-me. Picked it up in my thrifting spree right before Christmas. It's a wool/angora/cashmere blend, but that darned angora shed like mad all over the place. Note to self: don't buy angora! I do like the sparkly bits around the neck - I'll just make sure I wear it with light-coloured items.

The cami underneath is one I got last Friday night while out shopping with Mom. Love the ruching - so flattering! The line down the front is little brown and gold wood beads.

This is something I do with the cats all the time: Bam! Cat-zooka! I carry him around like Ripley carries her gun in "Aliens" and pretend to shoot L with him (I make exploding noises).

The shoes are hard to see because the pants are so long, but they are another new pair (I only have one pair left from my mad shoe-a-thon that I haven't worn yet) - my first pair of Campers:

I was astounded at how comfy they are. There is a bit of a platform on the front, and the chunky heel means good stability. They were on sale for $80 from $200.

I didn't wear any accessories aside from some crystal stud earrings, as all the bling on the clothes seemed plenty.

OMG!!! Love the kitty moves. My hubby does that with my Frenchie and he does the shotgun thing Chk,Chk... and Brandt the Frenchie and he growls. It totally amps up Leeloo my Bullmastiff. He used to do that with our Weimaraner that we used to have too. Then the pups would play like mad. It's hysterical!

Lovely new shoes and I'm really looking forward to seeing the Campers.

Weren't the Esprit sales great? I love the pants that you ended up with. I don't wear pants that often anymore either, but my favorite is my plaid flannel pair - not *too* different from yours, just lighter and different colors.

Pants look good on you Sheila ! Do not limit yourself !Oh and NOW that I finally got those Fluevogs, you come to me with ANOTHER shoe brand I have not heard of before and that are to die for.... I do not think this is much support for my shopping ban !
